The Scottish Premiership continues this week and will see Celtic host St Mirren at Celtic Park on Wednesday night.
Celtic have hit a rough patch of late. They were held to a goalless draw by Hibernian last time out, marking their first league game of 2022 in which they have failed to score.
The draw last time out followed the hosts' disappointing exit from the UEFA Europa Conference League last week.

The Celts remain at the top of the Premiership table with 67 points from 28 games. They will now be looking to return to winning ways and get their campaign back on track.
St Mirren were beaten 2-0 by Heart of Midlothian in their last game and were fortunate not to have lost by a larger margin after going down to 10 men just 20 minutes after kick-off.
The visitors sit eighth in the league standings, with 33 points from 27 games. They are just two points away from the Championship round spots and will be looking to make an entry with a win on Wednesday.

Celtic vs St Mirren Prediction
Celtic have picked up just one win in their last four games, conceding seven goals in that period. They last had a run similar to this at the very beginning of the season where they won two out of eight games.
St Mirren are playing well at the moment, with their latest result ending an eight-game unbeaten run across all competitions. However, they have a very poor record against their midweek hosts and could therefore see defeat.
Prediction: Celtic 2-1 St Mirren
